Thanks Jerry,
   
  Think I'll forget YT and wait the few days for the new Antenna book and HFTA to arrive!

  For HFTA, on the first line of the ".pro" file, put the word feet or 
meters, depending on your data. I'm not sure how YT works.

I'm not sure if HFTA will handle meters but it looks like YT expects feet to be used in the terrain files. Has anyone run into this and come up with a simple solution? My best solution right now is to take them to work with me where I can dump them to a unix box and write a script to do the conversion but thought I might be missing something and there might be a simple work around.
